That was why Tessa insisted on coming back to train even though she was not fully healed. Even if she

just played a gentle piece, it would still help to stabilize her techniques somewhat.

When the receptionist heard those words, an awkward expression appeared on her face. She paused for

a moment before saying, “Tessa, the truth is… Queenie is not just serving as the assistant concertmaster

for this performance. It has been decided in the orchestra that this position will be hers from now on.”

Tessa was shocked to hear those words. Even though she could understand every single word the

receptionist was saying, the words suddenly sounded like a foreign language when strung together in a

sentence. Thus, she paused for a while before she raised her head to look at the receptionist in

confusion. “The position will be hers from now on? Winnie, what do you mean by that?”

“Tessa… please don’t be so upset. I’m just the receptionist. I don’t know why the orchestra issued that

directive either,” the receptionist said softly while patting Tessa on the shoulder.

Knowing that it was useless to question the receptionist any further, Tessa nodded and went to look for

Trevor.

Trevor was astonished to see Tessa, and his expression immediately became strange. – He spoke with

his guilty conscience weighing down on him. “Tessa? Why aren’t you recuperating at home? Why did you

come here?”

She replied, “I came to train. But, I heard that Queenie was officially appointed as the assistant

concertmaster. Didn’t you say that she was just a temporary replacement for this performance?”

Upon hearing those words, his expression changed again. He avoided her gaze and did not dare to look

her in the eye. Even his manner of speech became hesitant. “Uh… Tessa, please listen to me. It’s not

that we don’t want to appoint you. But.”

“But what?” she immediately asked.

He gritted his teeth and answered straightforwardly, “This is the decision of the higher-ups. They claimed

that you are not suitable for the orchestra and chose Queenie to take your place. I’m just a lowly

employee. I don’t have the power to make such decisions. So… please don’t make things difficult for

me.”

She was completely stunned by those words. Does that mean I no longer have a chance? Ne that can’t

be. It wasn’t easy for me to climb to that position. Just because I lost my first chance to perform doesn’t

mean that I will never have another chance to perform in the future.

She looked at him beggingly. “Mr. Oswald, you know how I am. It’s not like I can’t do anything for the

orchestra. Please, give me another chance. Just one more chance.”

He looked at her with a troubled expression. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really don’t have

the power to do anything.”

Even if he put aside the fact that he trained her himself and spoke strictly in terms of talent within the

orchestra, she was far more talented than Queenie. He was reluctant to see her leave just based on this

point alone. Not only was she young, but she was also more hardworking than most people.

Comparatively, she had more potential. She would surely become a remarkable performer in the future. It

would be a pity to lose such a promising talent.

He had already planned everything in advance. After this performance, he was going to ask Queenie to

step down and return the position to Tessa. However, Remus suddenly came to visit him last night.

The first directive the Sawyer Group issued when they bought over the orchestra was to abandon Tessa

Reinhart. Otherwise, the orchestra would cease to exist.

This orchestra was his life. On the other hand, Tessa was simply a junior that he had : high expectations

of. He knew where his priorities lay. Therefore, he had no choice but to sacrifice Tessa for the sake of the

entire orchestra.

He shook his head and said to her, “Tessa, I’m really sorry. You should go home.”

Trevor thought back to the past. At that time, Nicholas had stood up for her and proclaimed that she was

one of his people. He even went so far as to entrust the care of Gregory to her. Furthermore, he didn’t

say a single negative word to her when Gregory went missing and personally took care of her in the

hospital. Therefore, it was unexpected to see how he suddenly turned on her and became so hostile

instead.

Trevor couldn’t help feeling sad for Tessa. Although he was very puzzled as to why the Sawyer Group

was targeting her, now was not the time to speak of such matters. Besides, he was afraid that asking

about this would only rub salt into her wounds. After all, nobody wanted to be ridiculed for being

abandoned after losing their job.

Perhaps, the care that President Sawyer showed her previously was nothing more than a game among

the wealthy.
